Individual Therapy for Anxiety | San Luis Obispo
Therapy for Anxious Overthinkers, People-Pleasers, and Boundary Beginners
For the ones who always show up for others but push their own needs to the side.
You're used to managing everything: emotions, expectations, responsibilities. On the outside, you're steady and reliable. Inside, you're constantly anticipating, accommodating, and doing more than your share.
You keep showing up for others, even when you're running on empty.
And deep down, you wonder... who's there for me?
Therapy gives you space to pause and reconnect with what you think, feel, and need. We'll explore the habits that keep you stuck in overdoing and second-guessing, and help you build new ways of relating to yourself and others.
I see individuals in person in San Luis Obispo and online across California.

You Don't Have to Figure It Out Alone
When you're used to handling things on your own, asking for help can feel uncomfortable. Therapy gives you a space to talk through what you're experiencing, feel understood, and begin making sense of the thoughts and patterns that leave you feeling anxious or overwhelmed. We can start wherever you are.
